To sit and read in the lamplight
It's just so peaceful, nothing stirs
Except perhaps my friend with fur
I'll grab a book and sit with her
And read on and on as she purrs
It's great when I can have time to myself then
Before the boys wake up, and the craziness sets in
It's just so calm sitting there
Nothing in the world matters, except us on our chair
And while this strange spell lasts
There's no one in the world but a girl and her cat
